Dundee Beach
Dundee Beach: Stunning Views, No Swimming Allowed
After three months inland, arriving at Dundee Beach felt like reaching the edge of the world. The long, sandy stretch and the endless blue of the Timor Sea were exactly what we’d been craving. There’s something special about being near the ocean after so much time away.
But this wasn’t your typical beach visit. Dundee is firmly in saltwater crocodile country, which means swimming is completely off-limits. Signs everywhere warned of the risks, and we weren’t about to test them. Instead, we stayed safely on the shore, taking in the view and soaking up the sea breeze.
Watching the tide roll in, we noticed local fishers launching their boats, hoping for a good catch in these croc-filled waters. Dundee Beach is famous for its fishing, and it’s easy to see why—there’s an abundance of barramundi, mud crabs, and more.
While we missed being able to dip our toes in the water, the beauty of Dundee Beach made up for it. Sunset was the highlight, as the sky transformed into a canvas of oranges and purples.
If you’re in the Top End and looking for a peaceful, scenic escape, Dundee Beach is worth the trip. Just remember to stay out of the water!
